Having Trouble Posting Images

[Blueball]

I have read the advice in this thread https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/useful-information.18814339/ but still cannot post an image. I have tried using links from my own website and from flickr but I get the same result every time: "Image cannot be loaded from the passed link".

Do you need to have a certain number of posts to link to images?

The flickr image has been made public and the URL is https://www.flickr.com/photos/197445031@N06/52625430539 (or https://flic.kr/p/2obk64i when shortened).

Additionally, there is mention in the first link I posted of further info in the FAQ. However, searching for FAQ does not produce any relevant results and I cannot see a FAQ listed in the forums.

All help appreciated.

Not sure with Flickr but you're essentially after the forum embedding code (sometimes referred to as bbcode). I know on imgur when you upload and select share links you can copy the forum code and literally paste it right into a reply - no additional formatting required.

I usually upload with imbb on my phone , no login or anything required, when its uploaded i press open image in new tab, then copy that link

^ Click on the BB code for sharing and just paste it into the reply. Delete anything after the last url]

I just use Imgur, seems to be the easiest, and as Semple said you can click Share, copy link and then paste in the post.

This is the important bit. Resize image then click post reply.

As said I do the top option then copy the link

Use media rather than insert image.

with flickr you have to right click on the image page and select 'view image source' or 'inspect' then scroll down and look for a link beginning with https://live.staticflickr.com/*********jpg

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52286034940_f092336da8_z.jpg

If you load this link into the insert image option you get the image shown on the page. Bit of a faff, but it works.
